Help your child learn to concentrate

Your child being able to concentrate in 10–15 minute bursts will really help their teacher. Here are some ways to practise:

• Enjoy extended play together. Building kits like Lego are great for encouraging your child’s resilience, especially if they can finish the activity in one sitting. Race-the-clock games are good for improving concentration (and are helpful when you need to be somewhere on time and need your child to get their socks and shoes on quickly!).
• Follow instructions. Giving your child simple instructions to follow helps build their concentration.  Why not try a simple recipe together or challenge your child to put their clothes on in a specific order.
